No Peeking!

We’ve discussed the “Show Desktop” button, located on the far right-hand side of the Windows 7 taskbar before, right? Just hover your mouse pointer over there and it’ll instantly give you a sneak peek at your desktop’s contents.

Well, what if we don’t want it to automatically peek at the desktop? What if we’re sick of our mouse pointer sending windows into a “Show me the desktop” freakout every time we misplace that little arrow?Simple! Just right click the Show Desktop button and uncheck the Peek at desktop option!

Now when you mouse over it does nothing! Turn it back on by following these instructions and replacing the check mark!
